I've met this guy on the net, we've been chatting for 2 years.. I learned practically everything about him.. and i love him.. he knows how to make me laugh, knows what i like, and what i don't like.. 3 months ago we finally met, and I'm in love for the first time in my life.. we're together now and I'm so happy..
do u think that u can learn about a person more if u met him in live? is it ok that we met this way?

It's very ok. I met my husband on the net 8 years ago. Last October we were married. Meeting on the internet is like meeting anywhere else, you have to use good judgement. There are many marriages to the "boy/girl next door" that didn't work out. So it's not where you meet a person, it's the person you meet.....In my educated opinion.

Online relationships certainly don't work for everyone, but regardless they are always risky. First and foremost you need to be smart about the choices you make when meeting people online. I know 2 years may seem like it has been a long time, and you may feel like you know this person so well already... but the truth is you don't know any bit as much as you think you do about the person you claim to be in love with already. Chances are he may already know a lot of your personal information with as comfortable as you say you feel with him. This is a BIG no no. The best way to truly get to know someone is in person! Depending on how you met them online can say a lot about the person as well. How can you really be sure they are being honest with you? Also, you have no idea what this person does with their day. How can you be sure that he doesn't have another lover already? Bottom line is, you may feel like you can trust this person but honestly you can't. Just be on guard, don't give your heart up so readily. That is a choice that may affect the rest of your life. So be smart about things and protect yourself!

Some of it doesn't work good but there also some that are lucky.
Just like the famous saying...Not all love story are like fairy tales that ends happily ever after,some are only-once upon a time.
I'm one of the lucky people on net coz i found the love of my life on net and our relationship is going on for almost 2 years now.

Its a dangerous game to play. Online realationships derive from fantasy most of the time. People can be who ever they want on the net. You really cant know a person untill you know them in real life. however I did meet my wife online and we have been married going on 3 years, so good luck.

My uncle met his girlfriend online.
I think it's a good idea if you are old and mature enough.
If you're only 18 and under, I think it's a really bad idea. Too many weirdo's.
And if you finally do decide to meet, I think you should take a girl friend or a good guy friend with you just to be on the safe side.

Two years and you still haven't met? He is either a frog, married, living with someone, or a total pervert looking for an easy hit. I'd approach this one with a stand offish attitude.

Be careful... of course you can learn more of a person when you meet him in real life so if you like him, try to meet up with him more often offline than online.

Be careful, hon. You only know what he tells you. I'm glad it worked for you, but remember that a lot of folks invent an "online personality" that may be nothing like the reality. Not to burst your bubble, but a lot of predators do this.
If you got a good one, thank God for him and take care of him.

You have to be careful, as you should in any new relationship, but sure they can work out!
So long as you take it slowly, there is no reason why it wouldn't work out in the same way as any other relationship... it takes time to get to know anyone, so take it slowly, and it will hopefully work out fine!
Let him take you out on some dates....get to spend some time in each others company
Good luck!
